AOk so I bought a 8lb tub of CK white buttercream and I hate it!!! It is too sugary and too crust for my liking! What do I do to make it less crusty and more soft? Any ideas would be a great big help since I have so much crusting buttercream!:-( please help me!!!

You could throw it away, and chalk this up as a lesson learned about purchasing items that should be made from scratch. We have all done it in the past. Never again will I purchase things like that. I learned my lesson in 1975 or 1976, too long ago really, about this. Never have I ever purchased something like that, we even make our own fondant. And always use the highest quality, organic ingredients.

Who is to say what someone "should" do? I make my own (only use swiss or italian though) but I don't feel it is my place to place "shoulds" on anyone. To each their own. It is great that you decide to do everything organic...but not everyone has the same business plan as you.

just pointing out a little irony here. In essence, you are kinda instructing the other poster how she "should" be responding to a post. If the moderators feel that there is a breech in forum etiquette, they will address it. Personally, I saw no issue with how she voiced her opinion.

I fully agree! Scratch icing is cheaper, better, and you can make it how you want it. I shudder at the thought of purchased icing.

I agree with saving it for charity stuff or for kids. In my experience children don't discriminate against icing of any kind.

I really couldn't care less about organic anything when baking. Organic sugar has the same effect on the body as non-organic. It's all refined junk. Organic spinach, hellz yeah! Now if we could only figure out how to make it taste like a piece of cake...LOL.

first of all i would feel awful chucking everything! i think i might go with using it for kids projects. however the tub is open so how long will it last??? i did put it in the fridge. i had ordered more thinking i would use it for my daughters 2 tier birthday cake next week but i think i will make my own SMBC.anyone know how to make SMBC really sturdy???
